Well, if you have a typo there and your processor is a 68LC040, then it
won't work on your machine. To my knowledge, there is no 68LC030
processors :)
But, if your have an 030, then it should work...try using an older kernel,
I use #26. With anything newer than #26, I get that same error you get.
Also, try just a plain GENERIC kernel...number 26 :)
Hope this helps...
